Hajj means travelling for the purpose of visiting the Ka`bah to perform the rites i.e., the actions and words reported in accounts of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Hajj.

Labbayka Allahumma labbayk means: 1- I submit and submit again, 2- I am persisting in obeying You, 3- I confirm my love of Allah, 4- It implies sincerity, 5- It implies drawing close to Allah. 6. It is a symbol of tawhid.

Much of the history of Hajj before Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is not known to us. There are some things concerning whose history a few indications are narrated in some texts. For more, please see the detailed answer.

Hajj and other righteous deeds are means of expiation of sins, if a person does them in the manner prescribed in the Shari’ah.

Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam. Whoever denies Hajj or resents it after the proof has come to him is a disbeliever.

If the onset of Dhul Hijjah has been proven and a person wants to offer a sacrifice, it is haram for him to remove anything from the hair on his body or to cut his nails or any part of his skin.

These are some of the benefits of Hajj: 1- It is a kind of jihad for the sake of Allah; 2- There is an immense reward for pilgrims; 3- In Hajj, Muslims come together and show their love for one another.

The virtues of the ten days of Dhul Hijjah are based on many things: 1- Allah swears an oath by them, 2- The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) testified that these are the best days of this world, 3- The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged people to do righteous deeds during them.
